Imphal, February 04 2023:
Saddened by non-implementation of the ruling of the High Court, Nong Lai Kang Transport Union has decided to file a contempt petition against the state's transport department.
The decision to file the contempt petition was taken during a meeting of the union held on Saturday with president M Dineshor in the chair.
According to a statement of the Transport Union, TRPC/transport directorate issued an order on November 23 prohibiting parking of light passenger vehicles like diesel auto and Tata Magic in Imphal city area.
However, the High Court of Manipur suspended the order on January 18 considering the inconveniences such prohibitions will create for diesel auto and Tata Magic drivers/owners.
Despite repeated requests to abide by the ruling of the high court and allow parking of light passenger vehicles in Imphal city area as usual, the department concerned remains adamant and this prompted the union to take the decision of filing a contempt petition.
